Good article on the inhumanity of MMJ laws. It’s Australia. But the similarities are there. Different details, same idea. Not a pdf. Like Rose’s bureaucratic struggles on other issues. I would take my chances with sharks any day over petty tyrants.

I can think of two famous people, who died from a Fentanyl overdose: Prince and Tom Petty.

Love & Light,

Mom to Jon, 49, (seizure disorder; Gtube; trache; colostomy; osteoporosis; hypothyroid; enlarged prostate; lymphedema, assorted mysteries) and Michael, 32, (intractable seizures; Gtube), who were born with an undiagnosed progressive neuromuscular disease and courageous spirits. Our Angel Michael received his wings in 2003 and now resides in Heaven. Our Angel Jon lives at home with me and Jim, the world's most wonderful Dad.

What a frightening experience for that young man! And what a cruel crime committed against him and his two women friends!

I am convinced that MMJ, particularly CBD oil, could benefit the health of everyone, regardless of the malady, ailment or condition. I've read recent research on CBD and THC oils to treat Alzheimer's, and testimonies from caregivers, whose loved ones improved using both. The CBD helps with memory loss, and the THC helps with mood stabilization, appetite, and sleep. CBD oil has also helped people, particularly children, with intractable seizures.

Jim is definitely benefiting from both CBD and THC oils. He's astounded all of his physicians and nurses, and today, Jon's nurse visited to change Jon's catheter , and she remarked at how healthy Jim looks. Our close friend, who recommended Jim take these oils prior to the initiation of his chemo treatments, said that it was the only thing that controlled her nausea and vomiting, when she had chemo.

So, there are many ways that CBD and THC oils are truly medicine. At last, the doors are opening for it to be used legally and properly.

I'm glad that you are not experiencing any side effects from the increases. What kind of side effects are you concerned about, or do you think might occur?

Your system is utilizing the medications its receiving.

I learned about that in 1983, when Jon was 13 years old having his second of many life threatening tonic/clonic seizures. His pediatrician told me that she'd given him so much valium to stop the seizing, which lasted over 4 hours, that "it would have taken down a horse." She said he was having blood draws every 20 minutes to check his levels, and they kept coming back well below the lowest acceptable range. She said, "He's utilizing every drop we give him to stop this seizure."

Yesterday, I watched a couple of videos by a young man, who has SPS. In one, he walked to demonstrate his gait. In another, he recorded spasms. In another, he recorded his IVIG infusion.

As I watched him having spasms, I was amazed at how similar his movements and facial expressions are to seizures. Michael seized for 22 years, and Jon has had numerous seizures, so I'm quite familiar with all kinds of seizures and what they look like. I had no idea until I watched his videos what SPS spasms looked like.

I admire you for taking the reins ~ contacting your legislators, getting that lovely wheelchair, building an accessible home, trying MMJ, going to Mayo. I pray that you will find the answers and remedies you need to give you the most comfortable and quality-filled life. You are a pioneer.

Love & Light,

Rose
